Participants in the first international conference, "Smart Libraries: Harnessing Artificial Intelligence in Academic Environments," organized by the Center of Excellence in Library Services for Jordanian Public Universities at Yarmouk University, recommended developing the infrastructure of university libraries to enable digital transformation and the application of artificial intelligence in their various operations and services.

The researchers also called for a shift from theory to practice in this field, for academic decision-makers to increase financial allocations, and for the necessary human resources to be provided for the transition to digital libraries. The participants also recommended the creation of a university course for library and information science students to teach smart libraries. They also recommended the adoption of national strategies to support digital transformation and the transition to smart libraries through the application of artificial intelligence technologies in information management, organization, and retrieval. The participants emphasized the importance of establishing an Arab network for smart libraries as a platform for exchanging expertise and information, benefiting from global experiences in this field, and increasing research, studies, seminars, and scientific conferences in the field of digital transformation, smart libraries, and artificial intelligence applications in these areas. They also recommended that the Center of Excellence continue to hold its annual conference in the future.

During the conference's two-day scientific sessions held at the Conference and Seminars Building, participants discussed a range of topics related to digital transformation in libraries, the challenges and obstacles facing library digitization, artificial intelligence and its role in developing library services, the future of information security and risk management, and other academic topics.
